A/N: Sorry to keep you all waiting. I've been on vacation for a while so I didn't get much time to type anything but what the hell. If anyone is interested in how this story ends then DON'T Pm me. Why? Because I don't know how it ends. I've really no idea.
The legend of Hogwarts
Chapter 7: Dark thoughts
They landed in a dark forest in Scotland. Harry and Ron put up the tent and Hermione cast protective spells around the area. No one said a word. Sheik had returned to her shadow form as soon as they landed. Zelda was helping Hermione with the spells and Dark was leaning against a tree, quite pleased with himself. As soon as the spells were done and the tent was up they all went inside. The silence was excruciating.
"Hey Dark," Ron said and looked up, "why aren't you returning to your shadow form." Dark grinned.
"If you haven't noticed my substance is not here. I thought that was why we ended up here in the first place." Hermione was suddenly hit by a thought.
"Do you know where Link is?" Dark looked at her as if she had called him something inappropriate.
"Miss Granger I'm hurt," Dark replied placing his hand on his chest in a sarcastic way, "I'm a shadow. Of course I know where my substance is. It's like you wouldn't know where your shadow is." Zelda's eyes grew wide.
"Then why aren't you leading us to him now?" Zelda screamed.
"Understand this, princess," Dark said and yawned loudly, "that even a shadow needs to rest sometimes. Well, good night then." And with that he fell asleep right away on the armchair. After a few well chosen words about shadows Zelda went to sleep in one of the beds.
"Wait," Harry said, "There are only three beds in here."
"Well spotted." Hermione said dryly.
"My point is," Harry said trying to keep his voice calm, "that since Zelda's in that bed and…"
"I'm in that bed." Hermione said very quickly and pointed to the bed above Zelda's.
"And I'm in that bed!" Ron shouted and pointed at a third bed.
"You're not allowed in MY bed," Hermione said, "so you'll have to choose between Ron's bed, Zelda's bed or the carpet."
"Well Link is going to kill me if I'm in Zelda's bed," Harry said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone, "and I'm NOT sharing bed with you," Harry continued nodding at Ron, so I guess that leaves me with the carpet. Harry did not sleep well that night as the carpet was extremely uncomfortable and Ron snored extremely loudly. He heard someone walking on the floor, passing by him. Harry grabbed his wand and turned ready to attack. When he put on his glasses he recognized the figure as Dark. He walked over to Zelda.
"Psst!" He said quietly and Harry turned back and put away his glasses and his wand.
"Link?" Zelda whispered pushing herself to a sitting position. "Link is that you?"
"Wow! Back off! I'm Dark." He took a few steps back.
"What do you want?" Zelda asked annoyed and fell back on the mattress again.
"You're troubled," Dark said, "would you tell me?"
"What do you know of my problem?"
"Ah, well you see. Sheik is your problem, right?" Dark sat down on the bedside. Zelda was silent for a moment.
"Yes," She confessed quietly, "It's about what you said today."
"About Sheik hating you for taking Link right under her very nose?" Dark asked and raised an eyebrow.
"So it's true then?" Zelda was about to start crying.
"Oh for the goddess's sake, don't come crying on me," Dark said, "but yes it's true."
"How?"
"Well," Dark said, "when you went hiding from Ganondorf in seven long years Sheik allowed you to borrow her identity. I trust you remember that?" Zelda nodded. "So," Dark continued, "You and Sheik were both in Sheik's body. Therefore you shared at a certain degree each others emotions. You loved Link so Sheik took part in that emotion. And now it seems she can't let go." Zelda shook her head hardly believing what she heard.
"So Sheik and I both love Link equally?" Dark saw tears falling from her eyes and he nodded.
"I don't know how Link feels but one thing for sure is that Sheik will not give him up easily." Zelda didn't want to hear any of this. She didn't want to accept the fact that she had to fight her own guardian for her love.
"Do you know any peaceful solution for this dilemma?" She asked him.
"Why yes," Dark said, "That solution is in Hyrule." Harry felt a sting of shock inside of him. He knew that Zelda would now go to Hyrule with Dark and without them he couldn't hunt for Link or Voldemort. It was as if Dark was trying to get them to Hyrule. He didn't know why but he certainly would find out. He would find out what Dark was up to. He heard Zelda crying even more.
"I miss him, Dark." She said and her voice shivered.
"I can find him," Dark said, "but first we'll need to settle things with Sheik." Zelda nodded and she lay down on the bed and she closed her eyes.
"Sleep well, princess." Dark said and he went back to his chair and fell asleep in an instant. Harry lay awake for several minutes staring up in the sealing of the tent. His dreams involved Voldemort, Dark, strange lands and fried eggs and bacon. He decided not to awake early but to sleep as long as he wanted. But that plan would be foiled.
A/N: Whew, finally done. I'll try to update as much as I can and I'll try to make longer chapters. Thx for the support everyone and if you have any ideas about what should happen next don't hesitate to Pm me.
